OK, let's parse this:

You have management that does NOT trust your professional opinion (and they
still employ you?)

That same management thinks "bright red blinking text on a bright blue
background" is good design (and let's assume it is bad)

Then you show them "some kind of reference and citation that says - Yes!"
and, bingo, they are resurrected? You think this is a tenable situation for
the long run?

I'd say you got bigger problems than your sampling size.

Best,
